“…The articles described in this review investigated the QoL and its assessment in patients with SCI and how these instruments may influence rehabilitation. QoL and a well-being assessment of patients with SCI were analyzed in six articles [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 48 , 49 ]. The methods used to perform clinical evaluation of QoL and symptoms of SCI have been described in three articles [ 47 , 51 , 52 ].…”

“…A cross-sectional study showed that, in a sample of 105 patients, 39% of people with SCI had TDP and the mental component of HRQoL was associated with TDP in people with SCI. Vitality, emotional role, and mental health scores were also significantly lower; TDP primarily predicted the mental health component of the SF-36; NA was a significant predictor of mental health, especially vitality and mental health; and the mental health component of the SF-36 was a significant predictor of the mental health component of HRQoL [ 49 ]. In another article, a longitudinal measurement of invariance was conducted, showing that, in terms of measurement and validation tools, the SCI-QoL-BDS represent a valid measure for assessing the QoL of people undergoing inpatient rehabilitation for their first SCI/disability.…”

“…Some articles also suggest that chronic SCI patients may be more prone to mental health problems even if they were previously more resilient; the mental component of HRQoL in SCI patients was associated with TDP. In addition, TDP primarily predicted the mental health component of the SF-36, while NA is an important predictor of mental health, especially vitality and mental health [ 48 , 49 ]. In terms of the methodological and clinical tools used to assess QoL in these patients, the SCI-QoL-BDS was found to be a consistent and valid measure to assess this aspect in patients entering hospital rehabilitation for the first time after SCI/disability.…”

Background and Objectives: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) develops when the spinal cord is damaged and leads to partial or complete loss of motor and/or sensory function, usually below the level of injury. Medical advances in the last few decades have enabled SCI patients to survive after their initial injury and extend their life expectancy. As a result, the need for outcome measures to assess health and Quality of Life (QoL) after rehabilitation is increasing. All QoL assessment measures include implicit or explicit reactions and evaluations of a person’s life characteristics. This review aims to investigate QoL and its assessment in patients with SCI and how the instruments that are used may influence rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: Studies were identified from an online search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases. Studies published between 2013 and 2023 were selected. This review has been registered on OSF (n) 892NY. Results: We found that different psychological and physical aspects can positively or negatively influence the QoL of SCI patients, and the measurement of this aspect, despite the number of tools, is limited due to the lack of a universal definition of this theme and the greater prevalence of quantitative rather than qualitative tools. Conclusions: This review has demonstrated that clinicians and psychologists involved in SCI rehabilitation should consider tools that use high-quality standardized outcome measures to detect and compare potential differences and outcomes of interventions related to HRQoL and their relationship with the personality and functional status of the patient.
